Pocahontas is one of those princesses that I’ve come to respect more as I got older. An all-natural gal that loves everything about the world.

I relate to Pocahontas from my days working at a nature park. It really taught me to appreciate nature, especially natural colors and prints. Her style would probably be closes to my weekend style, so this one is kind of easy.

Jungle Green Cargo ShortsGap, $49.95
The perks of dressing like a Native American princess? Comfort all day, every day! Little mini jean shorts can be super uncomfortable and bermuda shorts can be just plain ugly. Who hasn’t looked at their guy with jealousy on a particularly humid day when they’re lounging in their gigantic comfortable cargo shorts? Well now it’s our turn. I’m really excited that companies are making a happy medium in short lengths for women now. Before they were either bordering-on-illegal or granny length, but these Gap shorts are a great length and still look cute. And they have a cool little cargo pocket on each side and a frayed hem for those natural-lovers like me.

White Tie-Draped Blouse
Old Navy, on sale! $22.99
Loose, flowy and free! I think that would be Pocahantas’ motto when shopping for clothes. If you’re as outdoorsy and active as this princess is, you obviously don’t want to be held down by tight and binding clothes that stick to you in the heat.

I understand that Pocahantas is a beautiful, tanned, Native American Disney princess, but I’m not. I’m pale and burn after 10 minutes in the sun, so these are the type of clothes I’m desperate for this summer. Things that will be light and loose but will still block me from the sun. Besides, a full day out in the woods means bugs and other natural heeby jeebies. Sometimes sleeves can be like a security blanket.

Gold Feather Bib NecklaceLucky Brand, $59
This necklace was my complete inspiration for the whole Pocahontas style. I found it during one of my typical online window shopping excursions and I fell in love. How gorgeous is that? It screams Pocahontas. A gold that’s not too flashy with that subtle blue that could easily be mistaken for some type of stone. Lucky Brand has the best jewelry, and if you go into one of their stores you will always find it on sale. Some of my favorite necklaces and rings came around my one-day stint working as a salesperson for Lucky Brand (No seriously, I only worked there for one day). Lucky Brand has a lot of natural-looking designs and styles that are perfect for the more laid-back and natural fashionista.

Leather Gladiator SandalsMinnetonka by American Eagle, $60
Obviously we all know that Pocahontas would rather go barefoot than wear shoes, but these are a pretty acceptable option for the alternative. It took me a little while to warm up to the gladiator sandal trend, but once I did I couldn’t get enough. They are so comfortable, especially for someone who hates wearing shoes in the summer (ie: me). Plus these are really quirky and cute. The suede leaves and glass beads with some real feathers strewn across it have a very Native American feel that I think Pocahontas would approve of.

Faux-Suede ToteTarget, $29.99
Bags with Native American and Aztec patterns are really popular right now, and I’m loving it. They’re all over the place; Target has a million, so does Pac Sun and even Gap. I think it’s fitting for the summer, when you spend most of your free time outside and enjoying all that nature has to offer. I love gigantic bags like this, you can hold all your junk without worrying about fitting everything in on a trip out. Plus, it’s a faux-suede, so it’s animal-friendly, which I think Pocahontas and her many animal friends would appreciate.
